Its not even July yet and the silly season is well and truely under way.
This week we have seen the world transfer record smashed with Kaka's move the Real Madrid, reports of AC Milan using that money to rival Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo and then Pato thinking he might jump ship to Chelsea.
Here we go again. It's the one time in the year that I kind of wish football wasn't around but the agents think it's Christmas, their birthday and Easter rolled into one.
First of all the Kaka transfer has both confused and worried me (with my Barcelona sympathies) as the what drew him to Madrid. I have always respected Kaka as a player ever since he first went to Milan and my respected grew for him even more when he turned down Man City's oil soaked notes in January, but what has drawn him to Madrid besides money. Real Madrid of last season were a joke, destroyed by Liverpool at Anfield and then kicked while they were down by a 6-2 defeat to Barcelona that made the once great team look like a pub team.
Perez has promised a new era of superstars at Real to rival the Zidane, Figo team, but the only one of that long list of superstars to win the league was David Beckham and then they sacked the coach that got them it.
Kaka could turn Madrid into a power again, but what Real fans have to remember is that Barca are already miles ahead of them and they also won't have a quiet summer.
Next is the Ronaldo to Milan rumours. No chance of this happening all the best players are looking to leave Italy so why would the world's "best" player go there. Milan may have the money but they and all of Italy at the minute is a work in progress and lets hope they get back to they once where.
So to complete this little merry go round Pato is interested in a move to Chelsea. Now this I can see happening due to the simple fact the man himself said he will speak to Ancellotti after the Confederations Cup and before he speaks to the Milan board, so what does he expect Carlo to say, stay where you are lad no point coming to Chelsea.
Pato has bags and bags of potential and he has begun slowly to realise it, but there are some big defenders in England so if the move does happen it will be a huge step for him.
